In news that's currently ricocheting across Twitter, the official opening date, as well as production details, have been released. Ready, set, mark your calendars: the North American premiere will be on April 22, 2018.

Rumors have been circulating since December 2016 that Cursed Child would be opening on Broadway in 2018, though no further details had been provided until earlier today. The Lyric Theatre, one of the newer additions to Broadway, was scheduled to close and undergo extensive renovations in order to accommodate the hoards of screaming Harry Potter fans that will no doubt clamor to see the show (obviously me and everyone reading this is included in that description). It's still closed, but will be the official birthplace of the American Cursed Child.
